DANKPROFESSOR’S KEY POSTS ON STUDENT PROFESSOR CONSENSUAL SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS
Blog reports on and examines sexual politics in higher education with a major focus on issues regarding sexual consent, particularly the attempted repression of student-professor consensual sexual relationships. This blog reflects my commitments to the values of liberty, freedom of association, freedom of speech and privacy; such are values that are under increasing attack, both intellectually and policy wise in all too many universities which have embraced a culture of comfort in the framework of a velvet totalitarianism.
The dankprofessor blog will not be constrained by any ideological orthodoxy, sexual or political correctness. Hopefully, this blog will bring together persons who value liberty and freedom even in university life. Although the university is the focus of this blog, we will go wherever contemporary sexual politics and dating and mating issues take us.
The dankprofessor is Barry M. Dank, an emeritus professor of sociology at California State University, Long Beach, where I taught students and engaged in various forms of professorial dissidence for some 35 years.. In my earlier years, I wrote and pontificated on issues related to homosexuality and specifically on coming out and the development of a gay identity. Later I focused on interracial relationships and on student-professor relationships. I continue to be the head editor of SEXUALITY AND CULTURE, published by Springer NYC. During my 35 years as a professor and four years as an in-residence grad student at the University of Wisconsin, I openly engaged in propinquitous (as in propinquity) dating, dating students and having many wonderful friendships with many of my students and their families. During my early years in academia I married the daughter of a professor in the Sociology Department at the University of Wisconsin. Presently I am married to a former student, and living in the artist village of Tubac in southern Arizona.
